Bernie slams Democrats' 'corporate wing' as it warms to Warren

115. That certainly puts Bernie in an awkward position.

He has always accused anyone who is running against him of being "more corporate" or "more corrupt" than he is, and it's going to be very, very difficult for him to accuse Warren.

So he tries instead to go appear to go after the "corrupt corporate wing of the party" for "promoting her" rather than him, but it's still a backhanded insult to Warren.

He can't say that tweet wasn't trying to equate Warren with the "Corporate wing of the party" whose mechanations are apparently are the only preventing him from being #1 in polls, and not Warren's actual appeal to liberals.... as the data show.

And the twitter response from his followers has been to bash Warren as a "Third Way darling" so he certainly had the effect of making her the bad guy.

He missed and it hit him in the foot, although I don't think he would ever conceive of the possibility of any decision he makes being a bad one.
